Former Italian footballer and current Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso has spoken about the upcoming Champions League game against Barcelona in the second leg of the round of 16, believing that Napoli definitely stands a chance to knock-out Barcelona, but was understandably extremely cautious when it came to a particular player named Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n
\u201cBarcelona is Barcelona, but we will go to the Camp Nou to impose our style and try to qualify for the next round. We will not be defeated before the start of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t make the slightest error against\u00a0Barcelona. They get half a chance and put it in the top corner. We\u2019ve got to play 95 minutes with our heads in the game. People think passing is easy, it\u2019s really not. We have to become a team that thinks, that covers spaces the right way and remains totally focused.\u201d, explained the Italian boss.<\/p>\n
Gattuso firmly believes that Barcelona\u2019s icon Messi is capable of leaving the entire opponent\u2019s team way behind with mouths agape in his wake:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are ready to face Barcelona. We have our style, we are prepared. But they have one player named Messi who can leave 10 players behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
